About me

I live on Eastern Long Island, NY and teach high school English and Special Education. I am wife to a wonderful husband for 24 years. I am mother to Tim, stepmom to Stacey (husband Phil) and proud "Nana" to Chloe and Jake. My mother taught me to crochet when I was a young girl and it continues to bring me great joy. She also introduced me to quilting years later, and I fell in love with art quilts. My interest in papercrafts began about 7 years ago when I took a rubber stamp class at my local library. From that moment on, I became completely and totally addicted to cardmaking and rubber stamping. I must say that of all three passions, papercrafting is the one that I love the most. My craftroom is truly my sanctuary! I am very blessed to have such a supportive family, inspiring teachers, and wonderful friends with whom I share my love and creative expression. My blog has afforded me the opportunity to meet and learn from some of the most talented and inspiring women all over the world.
